In a disturbing incident that unfolded this morning around 8 AM, visuals surfaced of a man standing precariously on the railing wires of Mumbai’s Worli Sea Link, seemingly attempting to take his own life. What has sent shockwaves through social media is the growing speculation that the man bears a striking resemblance to Bollywood singer Yasser Desai.
Binu Varghese, a social activist and also a freelance journalist, shared the video in a tweet which said-
"A man has been spotted standing on the railing wires of the Worli Sea Link in Mumbai, reportedly attempting suicide.
Eyewitnesses claim the individual appears to resemble Bollywood singer Yasser Desai, Mumbai Police are requested to urgently investigate and verify the identity. Visuals received through a local sources today morning around 8Am.

This rapidly went viral. The man in the clip is seen in a visibly distressed state, standing dangerously close to the edge. Eyewitnesses and fans believe the individual looks like Yasser Desai—known for lending his soulful voice to songs like Dil Ko Karaar Aaya, Jogi from Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana, and Naino Ne Bandhi from Gold.
What has added to the concern is that Desai has been notably absent from social media. His last post dates back to 18th June, and there’s been no update from him since. This unusual silence has left fans even more anxious, wondering if something is amiss. The timing of the video and his online inactivity have triggered a wave of worry. At the time of writing, the identity of the man on the Sea Link has not been confirmed by the authorities. Mumbai Police have been urged to investigate the matter urgently and clarify if it indeed involves the singer.
While the internet is quick to jump to conclusions, mental health professionals advise caution. The situation, still under investigation, serves as a stark reminder of how sensitive and impactful public speculation can be—especially when involving public figures. Until there is official confirmation, fans are urged to avoid spreading misinformation and instead focus on empathy and mental health awareness.
